There have not been any letters from our beloved brother Archy for several months which keeps us quite uneasy as he is generally so punctual in writing us. I daresay you are long ere this aware what a good kind generous brother he has been to us: care more than many fathers would. Flora has been about a year married. She lives in a lovely village in the north of England. I was on a visit there last summer & enjoyed myself thoroughly. Mr Conway is so amiable & kind took me to see every place of interest he could possibly go to. Their little cottage is so pleasantly situated. The scenery is exquisitely beautifull. Everything was such a novelty to me that I was quite enchanted. No other people there speak Welsh. It sounds so very like the Gaelic.
